Nigris had always regarded Xiaogu as Ange's clone, stand-in, and projection, so he treated Xiaogu the same way as Ange. He thought that even if Xiaogu was unhappy, he would at most ignore it like Ange. He never expected that Xiaogu would actually Can run...
After running away, Nigris finally remembered that this little bone was originally a silver skeleton that would run away if it couldn't win, and throw if it couldn't win. Moreover, it had no soul connection with Nigris, so it ran away. Rhys didn't know where to look for it.
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Nigris also panicked: "I...I...what should I do?"
The female mage suggested: "Lord God of Knowledge, why don't you come back to the academy with us first, and then leave after you find Lord Bones, or ask the priest from the Palace of Knowledge to pick you up?"
Nigris could only choose to go back to the academy with the female mage. Whether the Hall of Knowledge recognized him or not was a question. Having known Anthony for a long time, he knew very well how evil these magicians were.
…
Xiao Gu took advantage of the fact that everyone was vomiting and had no time to pay attention to it, so he quietly slipped out of the airship, then found another airship to sneak in quietly and hid.
Xiaogu didn't know where he was going. He just wanted to stay away from the verbose brass dragon. Xiaogu had never said as many words in his life as the brass dragon said in a day.
Moreover, Nigris also likes to talk about it, neither this nor that, which is annoying.
After a while, the airship it was hiding in sailed away from the starburst array and sailed into the land below.
The world created by Ange is too abstract. It does not have the shape of a normal plane. All land is a large plane, whether it is the desert in the forbidden land of the gods or this continent of stars.
No need to think about it, Ange must have gotten used to it by playing with the simulated magic circle. However, the simulated magic circle only has one side, but the land in the void has two sides, one negative side and one positive side.
The sunny side is a world where the sun is shrouded, the sun rises and sets, there are mountains, oceans, rivers and lakes, the earth's surface is covered with atmosphere, water vapor circulates, there is wind and rain, and it is a world that can breed life.
The shadow side never gets sunlight, and the environment is harsh and completely unsuitable for biological survival, just like the previous abyss plane.
The airship landed in a desert town on the edge of the Star Continent. When the old captain opened the cargo hold and prepared to move the goods, he was startled by Xiao Gu: "Ah!! A skeleton? You scared me, how did you get there? Is my boat coming aboard?”
The crew, who was alerted by the captain's scream, rushed in, looked at Xiao Gu and asked in surprise: "A gray-bone skeleton? Why is there a gray-bone skeleton? Boss, did you buy it?"
"You are dreaming. I have paid you commissions with all my money. How can I have the money to buy a skeleton? It's a good idea. I guess someone's skeleton got into the wrong airship when it was parked at the dock. I will go back and send a message to ask. If someone's skeleton is lost, we will send it back next month." The old captain scolded him.
The young crewman said disappointedly: "I thought you were being generous, boss, by buying a skeleton to reduce our workload, but it turns out it was lost."
But he immediately got excited again: "By the way, boss, it won't be sent back until next month anyway, so let's let it work for us now, right?"
"Ah, do you have soul crystals? Can you afford to raise a skeleton? Can you make it move? You still want the skeleton to work for you? You lazy fool, if you don't do your own work, you will be deducted commission. "The old captain said angrily.
The young crewman didn't care. Anyway, on the airship, his skin would itch if he wasn't scolded by the captain. He was used to it, and he said with a smile: "You said it, I can make it work if I shout it." , Hey, little skeleton, help us, can you help us move the goods down?"
Xiaogu thought for a moment, picked up the box next to him, and walked out of the cabin.
"Wow, he is indeed a skeleton with gray bones. He is so strong." The young crewman exclaimed in amazement.
The old captain was so angry that he kicked him in the butt: "You also go to work, or your commission will be deducted."
Xiaogu could actually use the pollination technique to move all the cargo out, but if they said 'move', then just move it. With Xiaogu's help, the airship took less than half the time to move all the cargo.
Then everyone deflated the airship's airbag and dragged it into the warehouse. The young crew members were rushed to clean up, leaving Xiao Gu standing aside in confusion.
The old captain came over, handed Xiaogu a soul crystal, and said with a smile: "You are really neat at work. This is your commission. I will ask who lost the skeleton at the pier later and send you back." , but it will have to wait until next month, so you can stay here during this period."
After saying that, the old captain smiled and patted Xiao Gu on the shoulder, turned around and left.
commission? Xiaogu held the soul crystal in his hand, feeling a little confused. This was the first time this word appeared in his life. Can he get commission for moving things? What is commission for?
This is really a profound question. The reason why the old captain paid for the small bone soul crystal is because the skeleton needs the soul crystal. To the skeleton, this thing is energy, 'food', and is used to 'eat'.
But Xiaogu doesn't need to absorb soul crystals at all. He hasn't had the habit of absorbing soul crystals to replenish his soul since he was a child.
If you can't use it, just put it away temporarily. Xiao Gu took the soul crystal into his hand, and when he spread it out again, there was no trace of the soul crystal in his palm.
There was movement on the side of the warehouse. Xiao Gu turned his head to look. Several little heads screamed and shrank back, and then ran away laughing all the way. These childish voices came faintly:
"Wow, is this a skeleton? It turns its head. It's so scary."
"It's not scary. People will become like this when they die. They are all human beings. They are not scary at all."
"Grandpa Marcus said that this is a skeleton with gray bones. It is a very strong skeleton. It is very powerful. It can work better than Grandpa Marcus and Lazy Darry combined."
"Wow, better than Grandpa Marcus?" As for Lazy Darry, he seemed to be ignored directly: "But it's not gray? It feels a bit purple and black."
"Isn't that just Huiluo? If it's unevenly dark, it will turn gray. I heard that there are a lot of skeletons on the big magic circle above. There are also skeletons in big cities. Our small town is too poor to raise skeletons."
"What can a skeleton do?"
"There are many things that skeletons can do. I heard that skeletons are very powerful. They are not afraid of fire, drowning, or getting tired. They can move things, put out fires, fish things underwater, and farm and plant trees. We can ask skeletons for help. Unfortunately for us This place is too small to support skeletons, but now we have skeletons."
"It's a beautiful idea, but you can't afford to hire a skeleton, and you don't have the money to pay commission." Several children ran away laughing.
Can you do many things? Moving something? Firefighting? Farming and planting trees? Plant a tree?
Xiaogu heard many new terms for the first time, which made him feel a little confused, and he kept wondering in a daze.
As the sun sets and night falls, Xiaogu stops dazing and prepares to find a place to hide. This is the habit it has always maintained, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.
But after taking just two steps, Xiao Gu felt something approaching. He turned around and looked through the wall of the warehouse, and saw a human child groping over.
This human child was one of the people during the day. As soon as he turned the corner, he saw Xiaogu looking in his direction. He was startled, and he shrank back, hiding behind the wall and shivering.
After trembling for a while, the human child took a deep breath and murmured encouragement to himself, then bravely walked out, took out a soul crystal, and said in a trembling voice:
"Skull...Skull...Master Skull, I...I can hire...hire you to pick some herbs for me? My sister is sick and needs herbs to treat her illness. I can't pick some medicines. Can I hire you? ?”
